Hello from Ephesus / Kusadasi My name is Erkan who is an official licenced tourist guide living and working in Kusadasi / Ephesus. Come and be my guest to the city that I love. I have been practising guiding since 2010, working with cruise ships, college students, V. I. P. s, incentive tours, tourist agencies and individual travellers. If you join one of my tours, we can share a real travelling experience, visit the archaeological sites and museums, learn about the history and culture of Turkey, discover all the hidden treasures of Ephesus Ancient City, taste the local cuisine, meet the locals and above all have fun. Just let me show you Ephesus through my eyes. You can browse my tours or together we create your own customized tour. I am looking forward to meeting you and showing you my lovely country. I promise you an authentic and most enjoyable tour!! It is always a great pleasure and a privilege to show my country and especially Ephesus, my home city, to all visitors! Your Sincerely, Erkan IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CRUISE GUESTS : I highly recommend you to meet after 30 / 45 minutes the ship docked to port in order to beat crowds from cruise ships, school buses and hot weather. NOTE : I DO NOT GIVE TOURS FROM IZMIR - Professional Licensed Tour Guide - Member of Union of Tourist Guides' Chambers - We have a family tour company ONBOARD TRAVEL ( Tursab No 9293 ) and I give all my tours by our company.

Erkan was just an exceptional guide. Not only was she an expert in relaying information, she expertly guided us through and around crowds to make sure our particular interests were taken care of. She even made sure we took advantage of the best photo op spots. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

We can only say good things about Erkan and can confirm that all the really great reviews are totally well deserved. She is definitely very knowledgeable and has a great personality. Our Ephesus day tour was perfectly tailored for our taste and we had many interesting discussions. She also gave us many good tips for our remaining days in Türkiye including shopping in Istanbul. I would like to add that after asking her for a recommendation for a restaurant for my husband’s birthday, she insisted on making the reservation herself. What a surprise, she had reserved the best table for us, with an amazing view of the sea and as she said, the food was terrific. We highly recommend this tour, Thank you for everything Erkan

The tour with Erkan (Erika) was excellent. She was easy to communicate with before the tour and had excellent spoken English in person during the tour. Erkan is an extremely knowledgeable guide and was very informative of the sights we saw as well as the history and culture of Turkey and Ephesus. Meeting up at the port was straighforward, the van was good, and the driver Mustapha drove safely. We toured the Ephesus Archaeological Site (including the Terrace Houses), had a lunch of local foods, made a short stop at a carpet weaving centre, and visited the Ephesus Museum in Selcuk. Erkan was very caring and accommodating of our group of six, walking slowly, advising of slippery or uneven terrain, and providing rest breaks when needed.

Thanks to Erkan, we fell in love with Kusadasi, Turkey. We are a group of four adults from Dallas, Texas who had never visited Turkey. We liked Erkan from the moment we met her, and her wealth of knowledge is just incredible. She created a custom, private tour for us that we totally enjoyed, and we learned SO much! The tour is educational and fun. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you for such an incredible day that we will never forget.

Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Van

Ephesus Ancient City is far to Kusadasi Port around 15 miles. That's why we will need a van which I will arrange for you according to the size of your group. It will be an air-conditioned van with a driver. I can arrange a bigger vehicle if you are more than 10 people.
